DRINKING WATER CASE STUDIES AND WHITE PAPERS

• Legionella: The “Quiet Pandemic"

  Over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is likely that many people have forgotten about Legionella, which has been described as a “quiet pandemic” by legislators in the United States. While the focus of many government health authorities has been to react to and reduce the impact of COVID-19, the many stay at home orders issued, and the increase in employees working from home has been ideal for Legionella bacteria present in cooling towers in commercial systems.

• The Hidden Cost Of Water Leaks

  Every day in the U.S., an estimated 6 billion gallons of water is lost due to leaks in our water distribution systems. That’s enough to meet the needs of 60 million people—and it’s not just your water that’s being lost.

• How Decentralized Wastewater Treatment Can Protect Against Drought

  Learn how common wastewater technologies are being leveraged in decentralized systems and how they can open opportunities for innovation and better water management in the face of drought.

• A Legacy Of Clean Water

  Helping to maintain clean water is part of the Whalen family history, a story that begins in the mid-1990s with a father’s fervent belief that his research could make a difference and his son’s intense desire to ensure it did.

• Leveraging Digital Infrastructure Management Technology For Real-World Benefits

  For many utilities, large and small, hang-ups over new and innovative technology for infrastructure management often boil down to “How are we going to implement (or pay for) all of that?” Fortunately, a new approach to integrating existing GIS and asset data, Internet of Things (IoT) real-time data collection, powerful analytical software, and more is providing solutions to turn tough challenges into manageable solutions that are accessible on a subscription basis.

• Choosing pH Instrumentation — Digital, Analog, Inline, Or Handheld?

  With the importance of accurate pH measurement well established in the water industry, the next logical step comes down to choosing the best option for acquiring accurate readings in the application. Here is a series of considerations for selecting the right pH instrumentation for the application and obtaining optimal performance from it.

• How Multi-Cell Pressure Filters Can Provide Big Benefits In The Right Places

  The ability to treat drinking water both efficiently and to the highest standards is a necessity for municipal water utilities. In some instances, however, the backwash requirement of traditional pressure filter systems is more onerous than it needs to be. By comparison, the multi-cell pressure filter design is highly efficient because it generates its own backwash water source from the other operating cells.

• $0 CAPEX Model Aids Innovation In Changing Water Environments

  Managers of industrial, municipal, and agricultural water quality or water use monitoring can attest to the challenges of balancing depth of detail against the costs of achieving it. Now, an Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) business model is rewriting the economic impacts of those challenges by repackaging water monitoring capabilities to meet evolving needs more efficiently.

• AEC System Proven Effective For Chloride Removal

  In two bench-scale tests, a new technology effectively removed up to 99% of chlorides and 97% of total dissolved solids in a single pass. This solution offers a commercially viable alternative to traditional treatment methods.

• Security, Strength: AMERICAN Provides Products Of Choice For Major Highway Project In Augusta, Georgia

  Work is roughly 50 percent complete on a $30-million-plus upgrade of what is considered the most dangerous stretch of road in Augusta, Georgia.
